Description
Engineered for the toughest industrial environments, this 36x36 inch nitrile rubber mat tile features built-in drainage holes, anti-fatigue cushioning, and outstanding resistance to oils, greases, and common industrial chemicals. At 16mm thick, it provides lasting comfort, safety, and floor protection in factories, workshops, warehouses, and production lines across the UK.
Manufactured from high-performance nitrile rubber compound, this industrial mat tile is specifically formulated to resist degradation from petroleum-based oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, and grease — making it the go-to choice for automotive workshops, manufacturing plants, food processing areas, and any workspace where chemical spillage is a daily reality. The integrated drainage holes allow liquids to pass through the surface quickly, keeping the standing area dry and slip-free even in the wettest conditions.
Beyond chemical resilience, the 16mm thick cushioned construction absorbs impact and reduces fatigue for workers standing for extended periods, improving comfort and productivity across long shifts. Matching yellow and black safety ramp edges are available separately to create a bevelled, trip-free border that enhances visibility and safety compliance throughout your facility.

Key Features & Benefits
- Anti-Fatigue Cushioning: The 16mm thick resilient rubber surface reduces strain on feet, legs, and lower back during prolonged standing, helping improve worker comfort, concentration, and productivity across full shift patterns.
- Nitrile Rubber Chemical Resistance: Formulated from nitrile rubber to withstand exposure to oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, grease, and common industrial chemicals without swelling, softening, or breaking down — far superior to standard rubber in chemical environments.
- Integrated Drainage Holes: Open-hole design allows water, oils, and coolants to drain through the mat surface, keeping the standing area dry and dramatically reducing the risk of slips in wet industrial settings.
- Heavy-Duty Load Bearing: Built to endure forklift traffic, pallet trucks, heavy machinery, and constant industrial foot traffic without cracking, compressing, or losing its structural integrity over time.
- Noise & Vibration Dampening: Dense rubber construction absorbs impact noise from machinery, dropped tools, and foot traffic, contributing to a quieter, more comfortable working environment.
- Safety Ramp Edge System: Optional yellow and black ramped edge strips create a smooth, bevelled transition that eliminates trip hazards, improves visibility, and supports health and safety compliance in the workplace.
Ideal Applications
- Automotive workshops and service bays
- Manufacturing and production lines
- Factory workstations and assembly areas
- Warehouse packing and dispatch zones
- Food and beverage processing facilities
- Engineering and metalworking workshops
- Machine operating stations and CNC areas
- Commercial kitchens and wet-process environments
Installation & Handling Guide
- Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and free of debris before laying tiles
- Place tiles directly on the floor — the weight and grip of the nitrile rubber holds them firmly in position without adhesive
- Attach safety ramp edge strips around the exposed perimeter to eliminate trip hazards and create a visible safety border
- Allow 24–48 hours for tiles to acclimatise to room temperature, particularly in cold storage or unheated environments
- Tiles can be trimmed to fit edges or obstacles using a sharp utility knife and steel straight edge
- Leave a small expansion gap at walls and fixed objects to accommodate any natural thermal movement
Frequently Asked Questions
Can forklifts and pallet trucks drive across these tiles?
Yes — these industrial-grade tiles are designed to withstand forklift and pallet truck traffic. Always verify the specific load capacity against your equipment weight to ensure suitability for your operation.
Is this matting suitable for areas with electronic components?
Standard nitrile rubber is not ESD-safe (electrostatic discharge protected). If you require anti-static matting for electronic assembly or sensitive component areas, contact our team to discuss specialist ESD options.
What chemicals and substances can this mat resist?
Nitrile rubber is resistant to most petroleum-based oils, fuels, greases, hydraulic fluids, and mild chemical agents. It is not recommended for use with concentrated acids, strong solvents, or highly corrosive substances — contact our technical team for specific chemical compatibility guidance.
Do I need the safety ramp edges?
Ramp edges are strongly recommended wherever the mat borders an open floor area. They create a gradual, bevelled transition that prevents trips and are available in high-visibility yellow or standard black to suit your facility requirements.
